2. How Information is Collected
IndiaLD collects information from and about you in several different ways via the Web site or by telephone.
• Registration and Ordering. Before using certain parts of the Web site or purchasing products or services, you must complete an online registration form or provide certain information to IndiaLD’s telephone representatives. During registration (whether via the Web site or by telephone), you will be prompted to provide to IndiaLD certain personal information, which may include, but is not limited to, your name, billing address(es), phone number, email address, and credit card number. This personal information is used for billing purposes, fulfilling your orders, and communicating with you about your order and the Web site, and for marketing purposes. If IndiaLD encounters a problem when processing your order, it will use your personal information to contact you.
• User Submissions. Certain locations of the Web site may permit you to enter your email address and other contact information to receive further information about IndiaLD or for other purposes. Your submissions for these purposes are completely voluntary, so you have a choice whether to participate and disclose information to IndiaLD. Should you choose to submit information in response to these requests, IndiaLD may collect and use your name, email address, geographic location and other information submitted on the Web site to market IndiaLD’s (including Affiliates’) products and services.
• Automatically Generated and Collected Information. In addition to information that you volunteer as described above, the Web site utilizes technologies to collect information and track your user experience. IndiaLD will use this information to improve the Web site and user experience. In addition, the Web site automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access the Web site and may also log your Internet protocol (“IP”) address (which may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet), Internet service provider, destination and duration of telephone calls made using the IndiaLD service, and date/time stamp for system administration, order verification, marketing, and system troubleshooting purposes.
• Age. IndiaLD respects children’s privacy and will not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children under age 13. As stated in the Terms of Use, you have represented and warranted that you are at least 18 years of age or using the Web site with the supervision of a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 13, do not, under any circumstance, submit any personal information to us and always rely on a parent or guardian to assist you.
Generally, IndiaLD collects the above information for the following purposes: (i) to improve your experience on the Web site; (ii) to improve the products and services that IndiaLD sells to consumers; (iii) to communicate with you regarding the Web site ; (iv) to market and sell products and services to you and send you information about special offers; (v) to contact you about products or services you have purchased from IndiaLD; (vi) to respond to your inquiries; (vii) to manage and develop our business and operations, administer accounts, and collect and process payments; and (viii) if you sign up for text messaging or provide your mobile phone number for this purpose, we will use your mobile number to communicate with you about your account and to send marketing text messages to you.
